Hey Softie!
You actually went for it? congrats! at least on having two computers (or almost, not sure, yet)
If the resolution in gameing is High and having a real GPU, then the difference is zzzz CPU-wise yes (according to reviews, have no GPU yet) but I am at 4K now and the HT can be turned off if something don't like it, I will have to learn what those things is/are, not bothered so much atm except while playing with benchmarks.
I don't work for either Intel or AMD you can write what ever you want and have any thought you want, at least in my house.
Did you not do a Diva test first or something so you have something to compare, like, how did your upgrade translate into the Chromaphone world in numbers or instances?
